Although that has never stopped companies like Oracle. Thanks Alan

The rumors of SAS being purchased have been around for years. Frankly, though, I would see IBM as a better suitor but I will sit back and watch. I think it all depends on how SAS is doing and that is not apparent. Very good article. The rumors of SAS being purchased have been around for years.
